Description

Provides a single interface to the Live Birth Information System (SINASC). Current row, column, measure, period and filter choices can be inspected with 'datasus_opcoes("sinasc", ...)'.

Usage

sinasc(
  conjunto = "nascidos_vivos",
  abrangencia = c("municipio", "uf"),
  uf = NULL,
  linha = NULL,
  coluna = NULL,
  conteudo = 1,
  periodo = "last",
  filtros = list()
)

Arguments

conjunto	SINASC dataset. Currently '"nascidos_vivos"'.
abrangencia	Geographic form: '"municipio"' for municipality-level results or '"uf"' for region/state-level results.
uf	Optional state abbreviation, two-digit IBGE code or state name. With 'abrangencia = "municipio"', selects the state-specific municipal form. It must be 'NULL' with 'abrangencia = "uf"'.
linha	Row dimension. ‘NULL' selects the form’s first dimension.
coluna	Column dimension. 'NULL' selects '"Não ativa"'.
conteudo	Measure label, raw TABNET value or one-based index.
periodo	'"last"' for the latest available year, an exact period label or raw value, a four-digit year, or a vector of these values.
filtros	Named list of filters. Use [datasus_opcoes()] to inspect their names and accepted values.

Value

A data frame containing the TABNET result, with query provenance available through [datasus_proveniencia()].
